Plansky Collection

Flower Bouquet with Red by Carl Plansky oil on linen 48" x 60"

Carl Planksy, artist, teacher, paint maker, maintained studios in Brooklyn and East Meredith, New York and Budapest, Hungary. Born in 1951 in Miami Beach, Carl studied at Maryland Institute College of Art and moved to New York in 1970 to attend Hans Hofmann's New York Studio School. He also studied with artist Joan Mitchell, a close personal friend who was a strong influence on him.

Plansky’s paintings are drawn from direct observation, and revel in pitch-perfect color, compositional elegance, and highly expressive brushwork. Also a respected and influential teacher, he guided students at numerous colleges and universities as well as highly acclaimed art institutions, including a return to the New York Studio School in 2004 as a faculty member. Forever dedicated to the craft of oil painting, he began making small batches of handmade paint in the 1980s for himself and artist friends. This would eventually become Williamsburg Oil Paint for Artists, now widely regarded as one of the premier oil paint makers in the world and used by some of the most respected artists working today. He died in 2009 at age 58.
